What it’s like
The place. Newton is a very small farming town in Cache County, with a population that has stayed modest over the years. Nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and household incomes sit close to the county's, with relatively few households living below the poverty line. Homes here are valued well above what many small towns in the region see, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and on farms. Across Cache County, the largest workplaces include Utah State University, Schreiber Foods and Logan Regional Hospital. Commutes are fairly ordinary in length, and some people work from home. Unemployment across the county is low and has barely changed over the past year.
Things to do. Cutler Reservoir, a short drive away, is the closest bit of open water. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Tony Grove Lake and the Wasatch–Cache National Forest, a large protected area for walking and time outdoors. Winters are cold and snowy, and summers turn warm, so the seasons shape how people spend their time outside.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Newton’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Cache County and the Logan, UT-ID metro.
